Lil Wayne will be enjoying the NFL Draft in style. He has announced a Green Bay Packers-themed capsule collection with Mitchell & Ness.

As per Hypebeast, Lil Wayne is taking his love for the green and gold to new heights. This week, the authentic sports clothing brand announced a new drop that reinterprets the Green Bay Packers’ signature logo and marks. These limited-edition pieces put a fun twist on team wearables and game day apparel. Included in the capsule is a black jersey that features high density rubber print Packers lettering, tackle-twill name, and number graphics. In terms of branding it also carries screen-printed logos on the sleeves, an embroidered NFL crest and the Lil Wayne logo on the gusset. In addition, there is also a hooded sweatshirt and T-shirt in the mix, both available in two colorways.

Lil Wayne explained why this capsule collection is important to him in a formal statement. “We had to create something that reps the G but still drips with that Tunechi flavor. It’s more than merch,” he said. “It represents legacy, loyalty and a little bit of luxury for the real ones.” Emilie Arel, president of Mitchell & Ness, also commented on why the collaboration made so much sense. “This collaboration represents the essence of Mitchell & Ness – merging one of the most talented worldwide entertainers with iconic sports franchises and bold merchandise designs” she said. “We couldn’t be more excited to launch a collection with Lil Wayne at the NFL Draft and are excited to see this relationship come to life and different points throughout the year.”

The Lil Wayne x Mitchell & Ness capsule is available now. You can shop it here.

Travis Kelce pulled out the retro vibes — and paid tribute to another sporting legend — on a recent episode of his New Heights podcast, with the NFL star sporting a Michael Jordan hoodie from Nike. Fans immediately noticed the vintage-inspired pullover, which features a 90s-style print of Jordan and his famous red and white Chicago Bulls jersey (as well as his NBA championship rings).

Philadelphia Eagles fans went wild after their team won the Super Bowl for the second time in franchise history, celebrating in true Philly fashion. As the final whistle blew and the Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22, preventing the Chiefs from making history with a three-peat, Broad Street erupted into chaos. Jalen Hurts and the Eagles’ dominant performance left fans in disbelief, as they celebrated the victory that stopped the Chiefs from becoming the first team to win three Super Bowls in a row.

The last team to pull off such a feat was the Los Angeles Lakers, with Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal leading the charge in the early 2000s.

However, as the city exploded in celebration, things quickly took a chaotic turn. Philly fans, known for their passionate—and sometimes destructive—celebrations, started tearing up the streets. People were seen climbing street poles, some even jumping on cars, while others engaged in brutal fights.

The energy was electric, but with that came broken glass, damaged property, and a number of injuries as tensions flared. The excitement of the win was palpable, but the aftermath left a trail of destruction. Car windows were shattered, and several arrests were made as police struggled to contain the madness. While the Eagles’ victory was one for the history books, it also left a reminder that when Philly fans celebrate, they do it big—no matter the cost.

There is no place in the world like Philly…

Remember when you had to watch the Super Bowl just to see the actual Super Bowl commercials? Not anymore.
Being that brands are paying millions for their spots during the Big Game, many have said “later” for any anticipation and have been touting their commercials before players have even stepped on the field for practice.

The spots have plenty of range, too. For example, you have Meg Ryan and Billie Crystal reuniting to make magic based on a movie that dropped 35 years ago, and then you have Lil Wayne basically announcing his new album via a commercial for lotion. One throughline we do appreciate, when done well, is the use of Hip-Hop music (see Pfize with LL Cool J and Michelob Ultra with Rick Ross).
We’ll keep tabs on any commercials that actually debut during the Super Bowl and will add here accordingly. But for the right now, here are all the best Super Bowl 25 commercials. And some “meh,” too—for archival purposes.

1. Pfizer

Props for the usage of LL Cool J’s “Mama Said Knock You Out.” F*ck cancer, infinitely. 

2. Michelob ULTRA – The ULTRA Hustle

Rick Ross is getting a check, and Willem Dafoe and Catherine O’Hara are basically scammers—watch out for Sabrina Ionescu, Randy Moss, and Ryan Crouser.

3. Bud Light – Big Men on Cul-de-Sac

Feauturing Shane Gillis, Post Malone, and Peyton Manning, we respect it due to the clutch use of Huey Lewis & The News music. 

4. Google Pixel – Dream Job

Love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life. 

5. Hellmann’s – When Harry Met Sally Reunion

The fact that Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal reunited to push Hellmann’s mayonnaise in homage to When Harry Met Sally is textbook example of the jokes write themselves. 

6. Häagen-Dazs – Not So Fast, Not So Furious

Apparently Häagen-Daz has a budget for Ludacris, Michelle Rodriguez and Vin Diesel to parody The Fast & The Furious. What a time.

7. Cetaphil – We’re all a Lil Sensitive

You gotta give Lil Wayne props for being able to laugh at himself after the whole Why Kendrick and not met at the Super Bowl brouhaha. And he managed to sneak in a Carter VI announcement. 

8. STōK Cold Brew Coffee | Hollywood Magic

Channing Tatum getting his dance on to C+C Music Factory for cold brew coffee, and to inspire soccer celebration, wasn’t on anyone’s bingo card.

Patrick Mahomes is happy Taylor Swift is in his circle. During a press conference ahead of the 2025 Super Bowl, the player opened up about what it’s like having the pop star in his life since she started dating Travis Kelce — from getting her support at Kansas City Chiefs games to welcoming her into […]

Things are getting a little uneasy in the Big Easy. According to Nola.com, ahead of Kendrick Lamar‘s anticipated halftime show at Feb. 9’s Super Bowl LIX, a group of 17 Republican Louisiana legislators sent a letter to the leaders of the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation and the Louisiana Stadium and Expo District claiming that the state’s taxpayers should have a say in what takes place during the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.
Specifically, the note called out what is deemed a “lewd” performance by Rihanna in 2023 and the 2020 halftime show by Jennifer Lopez, during which they said the singer “wore little clothing and was groped by male and female dancers on stage, while the performer made sexually suggestive gestures and performed on a stripper pole.”

Trending on Billboard

“While certainly a large amount of support exists among many Louisianians who are excited about the Super Bowl coming back to New Orleans, many are also hardworking taxpayers with children who have serious concerns about the fact that past Super Bowl halftime performances have been less than family-friendly,” the letter read.

The note does not specifically name Lamar, instead focusing on some past performances, including the infamous 2004 Janet Jackson/Justin Timberlake “wardrobe malfunction,” while devoting half a paragraph to a vivid description of Rihanna’s halftime show. It describes the singer “groping herself while she sang song lyrics that were so offensive that few Louisiana adults could read those lyrics before an audience without shame.”

The signatories to the letter said they refused to repeat the lyrics in their note because they are “so offensive.”

“We realize that these past vulgar performances may have been acceptable to the residents of those states where those Super Bowls were held but, in Louisiana, these lewd acts are inappropriate for viewing by children, objectify women, and are simply NOT welcomed by the majority of Louisiana parents,” they wrote.

This year’s game will take place at the Caesars Superdome in the city known for its generous embrace of all manner of debaucherous behavior, including nearly round-the-clock drunken, boisterous tourists stumbling through the legendary French Quarter and women hoisting up their shirts to expose themselves for beads during Mardi Gras.

And while the lawmakers acknowledged that the contracts for next month’s Super Bowl are already signed, they expressed a wish that future contracts for the use of facilities “funded and paid for by Louisiana taxpayers” ensure, in writing, that any performers’ conduct adheres to “Louisiana’s community decency standards.”

Pulitzer Prize honoree and 17-time Grammy winner Lamar will be joined by four-time Grammy winner SZA for this year’s halftime show.
